The University of Reading is renowned for its exciting and innovative research-led teaching, a friendly and supportive environment and an excellent graduate employability record. Students at the Malaysia campus will benefit from the same world-class student experience that is offered in the UK.

The opening of the new teaching facility in Johor Bahru marks an important and very exciting step for the university.

International Capital Markets Association (ICMA) has a reputation for providing quality, cutting-edge education for the financial markets.
Its executive education includes high quality innovative programmes in areas such as capital markets, corporate real estate, leadership and coaching.

For those wishing to pursue a business degree, the university’s Business Foundation programme will offer an intensive one-year access course.
The course has been designed for students without British A-level qualifications or the equivalent who plan to do an undergraduate business degree. Successful completion of the Business Foundation programme guarantees progression to the University of Reading, including Henley Business School courses.

The opening of the University of Reading Malaysia’s main campus is scheduled for 2015 and it will host 2,000 students at capacity.
